Jim Garrison was the pilot of Space Shuttle Excalibur.
History
Excalibur was hit by a freak solar flare which broke the containment seal on their cosmic radiation experiment, forcing them to make an emergency landing. The crew were exposed to the exotic radiation and found themselves horribly changed; Jim's physical body was destroyed by the radiation but his consciousness survived, and when they crashed he instinctively created a new body from the earth and wreckage. Jim's new form caused him immense pain and the crew travelled to LexCorp hoping to find a cure for their condition.
When the four tried to break into LexCorp Superman responded and fought them, mistaking them for supervillains. When he learned the truth he swore to help them; however, Jim was unable to take the pain of his new form any longer and committed suicide in an MRI machine that ripped his body apart.
